GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Iatent.

Patented May 25, 1920.

Application filed June 27, 1918. Serial No. 242,186.

To all whom it may come/r12:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. VOLK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to aseous fuel burners particularly adapted foruse with gas stoves, and has for its object to provide an improvedburner, a feature of which is that flames of various sizes can beproduced for use. The burner top or cap is adjustable to variouspositions, and the adjustment controls or varies the amount of gasdelivered to the burner openings in the cap, so that more or less willbe supplied and the size of the flame will be varied accordingl Theburner may thus be adapted for vesse s of various sizes, or otherconditions, independent of the ordinary valve controlling the supply ofgas to the burner as a whole.

One form of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a plan of the burner. Fig. 2 is a central verticalsection. Fig. 3 is a plan of the under side of the upper part of theburner. Fig. 4 is a plan of the upper side of the lower part of theburner.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates the stove top, 7 thegas supply pipe with the usual valve 8 controllin the flow of gas to themixer 9. This mixer tu e leads to a lower annular gas chamber or section10, which is sleeved upon a central tube 11 which depends from the uppersection of the burner, the sections being held together by a spring 13,coiled around the tube, washer 14, and nut 15 screwed on the lower endof the tube. The upper end of the tube is expanded over the inner edgeof the upper section as shown at 16. The lower section 10 is relativelyfixed, and the upper section 12 may be turned on the tube as a pivot, tovarious positions.

The upper section 12 is divided by conical annular partitions 17 intothree annular chambers, A, B and C, and the top of the section isperforated as indicated at 18 by numerous holes to form theburner jets.

The top of the lower section 10 has therein a plurality of slotsarranged in three concentric lines as indicated at 19, 20 and 21, andthe lower wall of the upper section 12 is provided with correspondingrows of openings 22, 23 and 24, and one or more of the respective rowsof slots and openings in the two sections may be registered with eachother to supply one or more of the chambers A, B and C with gas. The topsection is provided with a handle 25 by which it may be turned, and whenin the position shown in Fig. 1, the slot 19 and opening 22 and slot 20and openings 23 will register with each other and accordingly gas willbe supplied to the chambers A and B. When the handle is swung to theright, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, only the slot 19 and opening22 will lap, and a small flame is produced, gas being supplied only tothe chamber A. When the handle is swung to the left in Fig. 1, all threerows of slots and openings will lap, and a large flame will result, gasbein suplpged to all three of the chambers A, F an Therefore, bymanipulation of the handle,

the size of the flame may be controlled and .sections, and the uppersection having partitions therein forming chambers communicating withrespective openings, and also having jet holes.

2. A gas burner comprising upper and lower hollow sections movable withrespect to each other, the upper face of the lower section and the lowerface of the upper section having a series of openings more or less ofwhich may be registered with each other by moving one of the sections,the lower section having a gas supply thereto and the upper sectionhaving partitions therein forming separate chambers communicating withdifferent openings, and also having jet holes.

3. A gas burner comprising a hollow lower section having a gas supplythereto, and a hollow upper section rotatable thereon and havingseparate annular gas chambers therein, the meeting faces of the sectionshaving openings at different concentric lines, more or less of which maybe registered with each other by turning the upper section, and theupper section having jet holes from the respective chambers.

4. A gas burner comprising a central pivot, a hollow annular lowersection thereon and provided with a gas supply, an upper-sectionrotatable on the pivot and resting upon the lower section, the meetingfaces of the sections having a series of openings arranged in concentricrows andon different radial lines, whereby more or less of the openingsmay be registered with each other by turning the upper section, saidupper section having partitions dividing the same into separate annularchambers communicating respectively with different rows of saidopenings, and also having jet holes in the top thereof and a springtending to hold the meeting faces of the sections together.

In testimony whereof, I do aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
